How we handle shower tray repair in Trevithal

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and cracks running from the waste, we can usually put it right, on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic alike.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Common questions in Trevithal

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

Everywhere in the UK, Trevithal included. Travel is included in the price.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What affects the price in Trevithal

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
